The bad cracks / 100% working games thread - Page 31

AC/DC HACKER! · 20 February 2019, 20:44

I was going back through Myth: History In The Making. I've checked all the cr's, and I'm not sure if it's a bad one or CPU incompatibility. I thought this game worked with A400 CSPPC/060..long time ago, but perhaps I'm remembering my long since sold A2000? The CSL cr or the CSL with trainer by N.S.C./[L]egend boots on my A4000, and I'm able to play through all levels until "Forests of Nidhogg"..get to the woman, and the sword next to her. Attempt to grab it or go a bit more to the right of it and the screen shot happens.

This happens with real A4000 and WinUAE 4000 CSPPC. I've also used disk 2 from WHDLoad install since I don't have the original anymore but that didn't help.

Perhaps a recrack with trainers?

I use this set but with a standard A500 setup:

... Myth - History in the Making (1992)(System 3)(Disk 1 of 3)[cr CSL][t +25 LGD].adf
... Myth - History in the Making (1992)(System 3)(Disk 2 of 3)[cr CSL].adf
... Myth - History in the Making (1992)(System 3)(Disk 3 of 3)[cr CSL].adf

Finished this numerous times without any issues; it's definitely 100% working.

AC/DC HACKER! · 20 February 2019, 23:03

I finished the game several times with an A2000 years ago also, and with WinUAE A500. That's why I was wondering if it's CPU related since the games plays well from that part to the very end sequence. Hmm..

Appreciate that part of the confirmation, Damien.

But I wonder if a 680x0 fix as well as an AGA fix could be applied by the skilled?

Are you sure that's not the crack's way of asking for another disk?

this is what happens when a loading fails ingame.

Haha, very. I played the game many times after I bought it and got the crack. Each segment is loaded completely.

It's not loading anything more. Once a level is loaded, it only loads a bit more when level is finished in some way. Why I'm wondering if it's a bad crack or merely zer060.. Seems funky to be zer060 since all other parts are fine but those 2. But then, as Damien typed - it does complete with A500. Hmm...I something about Amiga coding but not enough on this specific. So I asked.

Hmm... Are you suggesting hardware related? Because it does it with WinUAE A4000 CSPPC..

Fair enough. It was fairly common for cracks of 1 disk games that had to be split onto 2 disks to request the 2nd disk in this manner.

Heimdall II OCS/ECS Fairlight crack gives a nice pink screen with a 'Unable to allocate enough memory!! Memory Fragmented Reset and try again' error. This is in WinUAE with the 1.3 512kb chip / 512kb slow (most common) config.

The TRSI/ZENITH crack of the same version runs fine with the same config.

The exe in the fairlight version is powerpacked and when unpacked, appears to load into CHIP mem! The TRSI/ZENITH crack is propacked and when unpacked, appears to load into PUBLIC mem, so is loading into CHIP mem the problem?

DamienD · 28 March 2020, 19:32

Phew, just checked my collection and I'm using the "TRSi - ZNT" crack of this and am yet to experience any issues

Yes, that one is OK!

The Fairlight version won't run with 512k CHIP / 512k SLOW, a common A500 config.

Does it work if you disable external drives?

Tested it with only DF0: enabled so no DF1:

Please note for Heimdall II in TOSEC :

[56872617] Heimdall 2 - Into the Hall of Worlds (1994)(Core)(M4)(Disk 1 of 4)[cr FLT]
> The FLT version is not really FLT! The executable is provided by PDX and replaces the crack of FLT

Code:

   Heimdall II  Graphics fix.
       Unpack to Disk 1.
Works with all released versions!
Another LAME! bug by Core Design!
    Another FIX by Blackhawk

The original edition of FLT will be included in the next TOSEC distribution but the closest is the one below:

[299F8782] Heimdall 2 - Into the Hall of Worlds (1994)(Core)(M4)(Disk 1 of 4)[cr FLT][a2]

Methanoid · 05 April 2020, 15:32

Doesn't that make it a FLT release with fix by PDX?

Noticed on the HeimdallII exe there is a comment attached to the file: Ripped From ULTIMA MISCELLANEOUS PAC # 1 by HUGH/ULTIMA

The ftp only has Pac 2 so can't see what Pac 1 contained!

Crashdisk · 05 April 2020, 18:13

Small summary of the versions available (heimdallII file):

I Play 3-D Soccer (1991)(Simulmondo)(M4)[cr AGL]

Bad crack, checksums not disabled which means game will have random "bugs".

Oh shite, that's the version I use...

Can you recommend an alternative, are any of these ok?

... I Play 3-D Soccer (1991)(Simulmondo)(M4)[cr GOD][h Amigos].zip

Gobal Overdose version is almost OK. It actually is a fixed AGL version (crack intro is disabled) and the cracker worked around the checksum issues by restoring the original game code after the manual protection. However, he didn't it get it 100% right as after a match has been completed/aborted game shows language selection screen again. It is a minor glitch only though as game otherwise works OK.

Skid Row version seems to be a pre-release/beta version and is different to the other versions.

DamienD · 06 April 2020, 12:57

Great, thanks for the info

I'll use the "Global Overdose" version
